What makes This is Baby a great book?

Illustrations

Like the other books in Fallon’s children’s series, This is Baby is illustrated by Miguel Ordonez.  The best word to describe Ordonez’s illustration style is simple.  The book’s art is ideal for children’s books because of its bright colors and use of basic shapes.  This can be seen right from the start by looking at the book’s cover. 

Each page shows babies interacting with different animals or children’s toys as they learn all about the parts of the body.  The use of these familiar characters and objects help keep engagement level high with young audiences.

Perfect Gift for New Parents

Books make great gifts for new parents and This is Baby is a perfect choice because of its subject and simple layout.  The best books for infants and toddlers are simple and rely on colorful illustrations to keep short attention spans satisfied.  Fallon’s third published book accomplishes both of those goals.

Fallon’s children’s books can be found in box sets and are available as hardcover or board books.

Final Thoughts

This is Baby is a must-have for new parents. The bright illustrations and simple story make it a great selection for infants and toddlers. If you like Fallon’s other two books in the series, Your Baby’s First Word Will Be Dada and Everything is Mama, you’ll certainly enjoy This is Baby as well!
